Jazz Tasting Menu
At Il Consiglio di Sicilia, 2021 is “jazz”! Every day the seasons, the vegetable garden and the sea suggest us which dishes to cook for you. Every day, chef Antonio Cicero talks you through his Sicily in a four-course journey that combines simplicity and elegance for an irresistible price.

-
Sexy cod
(lemon zest, lapsang-souchong tea) infused with lapsang-souchong tea used as a spice; in stew without tomato. He's always pale in the end, he's always a cod, but he's become sexy like Marilyn Monroe in a bathrobe.20

Wall Street Journal's cannoli
